To say that I am obsessed with the Pioneer Woman would not be an exageration! I love her! I read her blog everyday! I have read her love story, "Black Heels To Tractor Wheels". I think that her and I are soul mates. This was solidified on the day she talked about her love for Diet Dr.Pepper.
Anyway, I found this recipe on her blog and decided to make it for my family for breakfast a couple of Saturdays ago. They were wonderful and full of calories, but we loved them! So here they are along with the recipe!
French Breakfast Puffs
3 C. Flour
3 t. Baking Powder
1 t. Salt
1/2 t. Ground Nutmeg
1 C. Sugar
2/3 C. Crisco
2 Eggs
1 C. Milk
1 1/2 C. Sugar
3 t. Cinnamon
2 Sticks of Butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12 muffin cups.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a different bowl, cream together 1 C. sugar and shortening. Then add eggs and mix again. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
In a bowl, melt 2 sticks of butter. In a separate bowl combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Dip baked muffins in butter, soak well, then coat with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Eat. Faint.
